Trailer Debut: Cedar Rapids

The trailer for Fox Searchlight’s new comedy Cedar Rapids has debuted online. It stars Ed Helms (The Hangover, The Office) as a small-town insurance agent from Wisconsin who heads to the big city (ahem, Cedar Rapids, Iowa) for a conference and enjoys a weekend of a lifetime.

Cedar Rapids first landed on our radar last year, when Phil Johnston’s screenplay appeared on the 2009 Black List (an annual roll of the best unpublished scripts in Hollywood). Cedar Rapids was 5th on the list; if I may add some confusing context, The Social Network was 2nd and The King’s Speech was 21st.
